The deadline is approaching fast to submit an application to try to grab some of the $5 million in grants in this year’s Knight News Challenge:
“If you have a great idea that will improve local online news, deepen community engagement, bring Web 2.0 tools to local neighborhoods, develop publishing platforms and standards to support local conversations or innovate how we visualize, experience or interact with information, we’d like to see it!”
The Knight News Challenge is a great way to get some funding behind an idea, but be warned: it’s getting more competitive year after year. Also, for the first time ever, your applications will be public. Good luck…
